BANKING LOBBY MOUNTS SUNDAY BLITZ TO KILL CLARITY ACT STABLECOIN COMPROMISE

American Bankers Association CEO Rob Nichols (@BankersPrez) emailed every member bank CEO in the country on Mother's Day, urging "immediate engagement" against the CLARITY Act's stablecoin yield language, three days before Thursday's Senate Banking Committee markup.

Nichols said the bill would "unnecessarily incentivize the flight of bank deposits into payment stablecoins" and asked CEOs to mobilize employees to call senators.

Pushback was immediate. Senator Bernie Moreno called the ABA "the banking cartel in full panic mode." Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal told Nichols: "We've already had immediate engagement. I know because I was there, you weren't." White House digital assets official Patrick Witt (@patrickjwitt) confirmed he personally invited Nichols and other bank trade CEOs to White House yield sessions earlier this year. They declined.

The Tillis-Alsobrooks compromise bans passive stablecoin yield while permitting activity-based rewards. Polymarket shows CLARITY Act 2026 passage odds around 69%.

Revolut is building Private Banking services in Switzerland.

In addition to signals that it's setting up a dedicated banking team in Switzerland and plans to apply for a local banking licence, Revolut’s job advert for Head of Legal (Swiss Private Bank) reveals that the company intends to compete with the likes of UBS and offer Swiss Private Banking and wealth management services.

Job responsibilities include preparing customer-facing documents, providing day-to-day advisory on trading and investment products, and handling the marketing and promotion of those products.

Requirements include: 10+ years of experience in wealth and trading, plus strong expertise in advising on Switzerland’s Financial Services Act (FinSA), Financial Institutions Act (FinIA), Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), and Banking Act (BA).

This is the first concrete indication of Revolut’s private banking plans in #Switzerland.

The company had earlier indicated that its private banking service is planned to roll out first in the EU, then in the UK, probably in 2027.

🚨BREAKING: GOOGLE WARNS 6.9M BITCOIN WILL BE VULNERABLE WHEN QUANTUM COMPUTERS BECOME POWERFUL ENOUGH

A new Google Quantum AI whitepaper has identified approximately 6.9 million Bitcoin $BTC vulnerable to future quantum at-rest attacks.

Around 1.7 million BTC sits in old Pay-to-Public-Key scripts, with public keys permanently exposed on the blockchain. This includes coins widely believed to belong to Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

No quantum computer powerful enough to exploit this exists today. But the paper warns that when one does, these dormant assets require no transaction to be broadcast — a future attacker could simply derive the private key silently from public data.

The research team revealed that a superconducting quantum computer could derive a Bitcoin private key in approximately 9 minutes — just inside Bitcoin's average 10-minute block time.

Google warns the coins represent a "fixed, multibillion-dollar target" if protocol changes are not made in time.

The paper proposes governments consider legal frameworks for "digital salvage," treating dormant quantum-vulnerable coins similarly to unclaimed sunken treasure, to prevent them falling to rogue states or criminal actors first.

This is MASSIVE for ETH.

$14 trillion BlackRock just launched the first Ethereum Staking ETF with ticker $ETHB.

This is bigger than most people realize.

$IBIT: Bitcoin spot ETF. Zero yield. Just price exposure.

$ETHA: Ethereum spot ETF. Zero yield. Just price exposure.

$ETHB: Ethereum staking ETF. 3% annual yield. Institutional money now earns directly from the blockchain.

This is the first time in history a $10 trillion asset manager is plugging institutional capital directly into a proof-of-stake network and earning rewards from it.

Why this is bullish for Ethereum:

Every dollar flowing into $ETHB removes ETH from circulation and locks it into staking. Less supply. Same or growing demand. Price goes up by basic math.

A 3% annual yield makes ETH compete directly with treasury bonds for institutional allocation. Pension funds and endowments that could never justify holding a zero-yield asset can now justify $ETHB.

BlackRock priced the fee at 0.12% for the first year to capture market share before anyone else launches a rival product. They are building a moat while competitors are still filing paperwork.

Fidelity and Invesco will follow. That is guaranteed. But BlackRock moved first. Again.

If you’re wondering why asset prices are getting hit like gold down over 10% and silver down more than 30% in a day then listen to this Kevin Warsh clip.

He’s openly critical of QE and favors a tighter Fed balance sheet which means less liquidity across markets.
